September was Dystonia Awareness Month!
What DNA did in September to raise awareness
- We arranged a series of short videos by Australian health professionals and researchers on different topics relating to dystonia. These are made available on our website and our YouTube channel
- We participated in radio interviews to talk about dystonia and awareness month activities
- We ran our 30 second awareness ad on as many local and community radio stations as we could
- We ensured neurologists’ rooms are stocked with DNA brochures
- We held a Zoom get together for our members
- We held a competition for members, families and friends to help raise awareness – this year it was Pets for Dystonia
- We arranged some fun and informative short interviews with interesting people in the Dystonia world
- We asked that you display our awareness posters below in workplaces, shopping centres, libraries, community centres and on social media. The posters are available for saving and printing here – Orange poster, Portrait poster white background, Landscape poster white background.
- We have previously held booths at hospitals to raise awareness however this was impacted by Covid-19
